Honey Almond Granola
Delicious honey flavor with roasted almonds and oats, so simple and good its the only granola you will ever want to make.
Ingredients
- 6 cups gluten-free old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 cup unsalted almonds (raw or dry roasted)
- 1/2 cup local honey
- 6 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper (this is optional, you can leave them unlined if you'd rather, just watch to make sure the granola doesn't stick while baking).
- Add the oats, salt, coconut sugar, almond meal, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds to a large bowl. Coarsely chop the almonds and add them in the bowl. Toss until mixed evenly.
- Combine the honey and coconut oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low just until the coconut oil is melted. Add the vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and toss until evenly mixed. Pour the granola evenly on two large, rimmed baking sheets and spread into an even layer.
- Bake the granola for 15-25 minutes, tossing once or twice. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. It should smell fragrant and be lightly golden. The exact baking time will depend on how crunchy you like your granola. I like mine a little more on the soft side so I usually bake for 20minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the granola cool on the baking sheets before breaking up into pieces and storing it in an airtight container. This is important if you like those bigger chunks in your granola. Enjoy!
Notes
Optional change add 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut and 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
